El Castell Menor<\/h1>\n

This is the oldest part of the castle, dating back to Iberian and Roman times, and sits atop the sheer slopes of the Penya Roja. Gazing towards the east, it provides dramatic views over the valley of Bixquert.<\/p>\n

A stroll around the Castell Menor<\/em> evokes legends about the Iberian Princess Himilce, Hannibal\u2019s wife, and the war Hannibal unleashed against Rome. It is said that Himilce bore the Carthaginian general\u2019s son here, in 218 BC. Due to its strategic position, the fortress commands the Via Augusta Roman road and so was witness to Hannibal\u2019s campaigns and those of the Roman generals Scipio and Sertorius.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/mk_page_section][mk_page_section bg_image=”https:\/\/xativaturismo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/3.png” full_width=”true” predefined_bg=”9″ sidebar=”sidebar-1″][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1447920632249{padding-top: 2% !important;}”][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1464085157242{padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 10% !important;padding-bottom: 0% !important;padding-left: 10% !important;}” el_class=”goya-blanco”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″ offset=”vc_col-lg-4 vc_col-md-4 vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs” css=”.vc_custom_1464090471833{padding-top: 2% !important;padding-bottom: 2% !important;}”][mk_slideshow_box images=”58138,58129″ slideshow_speed=”8700″ img_position=”center center”][\/mk_slideshow_box][vc_custom_heading text=”HANNIBAL\u2019S GATE” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:20px|text_align:left|color:%23f9f9f9″ google_fonts=”font_family:Open%20Sans%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C800%2C800italic|font_style:600%20bold%20regular%3A600%3Anormal” css=”.vc_custom_1470135998660{padding-top: 10px !important;}”][vc_separator align=”align_left” border_width=”2″ el_width=”10″ el_class=”separador”][vc_column_text disable_pattern=”false”]According to the Roman poet Silius Italicus, it was in X\u00e0tiva that Hannibal made his preparations for the siege of the Roman city of Saguntum.

El Castell Major<\/h1>\n

Perched on the crest of the sierra de Vernissa hill, to the right of the Plaza de Armas square, rises the Castell Major. Of later construction, built in mediaeval times, this is the most extensive and best preserved part of the castle. Its imposing ramparts look towards the west. After the Christian conquest led by Jaume I, this became the main defensive stronghold along the road between Castile and the capital of the Kingdom of Valencia.<\/p>\n

The Castell Major<\/em> encloses spaces and rooms that conjure up daily life in the fortress: entrance gates, watchtowers, water tanks for the guard, a chapel and the cells where some of its famous prisoners counted their days.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/mk_page_section][mk_page_section bg_image=”https:\/\/xativaturismo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/15.png” border_color=”#e5e5e5″ full_width=”true” padding_top=”50″ padding_bottom=”40″ predefined_bg=”15″ sidebar=”sidebar-1″][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1450053013767{padding-top: 0% !important;}”][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1464085185331{padding-right: 10% !important;padding-bottom: 0% !important;padding-left: 10% !important;}” el_class=”goya”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ offset=”vc_col-lg-6 vc_col-md-6 vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs” css=”.vc_custom_1450718889114{padding-top: 2% !important;padding-right: 2% !important;padding-bottom: 2% !important;padding-left: 2% !important;}”][mk_slideshow_box images=”3611″ slideshow_speed=”8756″ img_position=”center center”][\/mk_slideshow_box][vc_custom_heading text=”PUERTA DEL SOCORRO GATE” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:20px|text_align:left” google_fonts=”font_family:Open%20Sans%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C800%2C800italic|font_style:600%20bold%20regular%3A600%3Anormal” css=”.vc_custom_1470136344737{padding-top: 10px !important;}”][vc_separator color=”black” align=”align_left” border_width=”2″ el_width=”10″ el_class=”separador”][vc_column_text disable_pattern=”false”]Located at the back of the Castell, this gate opens on to the valley of Bixquert.
